AOD steering column linkage?
Hey Fellas, been away for a while. Interested if anybody has had problems hooking up an AOD to their steering column. Best idea I come up with is to use 80-91 linkage with the frame bracket. Have to move arms to clear the crossmember, tho'. Appreciate any thoughts.

yeah, it bolts to the linkage hole on the leaver on the tranny, then has 2 peices of 3/8 square stock on the sides to keep it lined up. from there it extends the same distance from the center of the linkage shaft to the hole on the c-4 tranny leaver.
btw, all the trannies i've used, are from crown vic's, i don't know if aod's from other cars are the same.

yeah, mine's hooked to the carb, but i'm using the whole engine/tranny combo from an 84 ltd. the big thing with the kickdown, is to make sure that it moves in sync with the throttal. from idle, to wot.
i have a crappy digi cam, and i don't know when i'll have time to get pics

okiewelder, I'm hooking up a Lokar tv cable for AOD. It will connect to any Edelbrock carb or SOME Holleys. A Holley needs a mounting hole 1 1/4" BELOW the throttle shaft on the throttle plate. Many have it, many don't. Looks to be a good setup, but kinda expensive($50 + $25 for carb bracket)
